for folks using Python or R, we (@spatialucr) keep optimized versions of each ACS 5-year vintage (tract and blockgroup) *with geometries* as parquet files in a public S3 bucket (read: FAST). The variable set matches LTDB

How do transportation infrastructure and public policy decisions affect accessibility to critical services in California and beyond?

#UCRiverside researchers at CGS build cutting-edge tools to help answer important questions like these

pandana + libpysal + geopandas = fast interactive travel isochrones (computed locally) in the notebook.
Easy to explore how travel infrastructure conditions social behavior

will make it into geosnap after some cleanup/optimization :)
